HI Kathy,
LOL...not only do you drag me into a discussion where I'm not commenting
about anything you misstate the facts. I never said anything about
"that's still a lot of executions." You must be thinking of someone
else.
As I've stated before, my biggest objection to the death penalty is that
it is inevitable that innocent people will be executed over the course of
many years. And if even only ONE innocent person is executed it is
sufficient to ban the death penalty, IMO. Another good argument against
it is that, in spite of what people want to say, it is administered in a
very discriminatory manner.
Since it has been proven not to be a deterrent it only makes sense that
there are better ways to decrease capital crimes. The death penalty does
not do one thing to decrease capital crimes. If it did then the number
of people on death row would decrease instead of increase.
